Bermudian Official Hayward Jr. Steps Up in Leagues Cup
|
|
Bermuda's FIFA Assistant Referee Clinton Randolph Hayward Jr. showcased his elite credentials on the international stage, taking charge as Assistant Referee 2 in two high-profile fixtures during the 2026 Leagues Cup.
The ongoing sixth edition of the marquee North American tournament—which brings together top clubs from Major League Soccer (MLS) and Mexico’s Liga MX—saw Hayward involved in crucial group-stage clashes.
His first assignment came at Q2 Stadium, where Austin FC secured a convincing 2-0 victory over Club Tijuana. First-half strikes from Joseph Rosales and Jon Gallagher set the foundation for the win, marking a impressive third consecutive victory for the "Verde & Black" against Liga MX opposition.
Hayward was back on the line shortly after, officiating at SeatGeek Stadium as Chicago Fire FC mounted a dramatic second-half comeback. Chicago struck three unanswered goals after the break to claim a 3-1 win over Santos Laguna, lifting the Fire to a maximum six points through their opening two matches.
Hayward's inclusion in the refereeing appointments highlights the growing recognition of Bermudian match officials within CONCACAF and across the top tiers of North American football.

Trio Brings Bermuda's CAC Games Count to Six
|
|
Bermuda enjoyed a historic penultimate day at the Central American and Caribbean Games in the Dominican Republic, picking up three medals across sailing and athletics.
Sailors Adriana Penruddocke and Sebastian Kempe brought their outstanding weeks to a fitting climax in the ILCA fleet, while high jumper Sakari Famous delivered a record-breaking performance on the track and field stage.
Penruddocke led the charge on the water, sealing a magnificent gold medal victory in the ILCA 6 fleet following a dominant campaign off Salinas Beach.
Kempe added to the country's medal haul in the men's division, holding his nerve to claim a hard-earned medal and continue his impressive international trajectory.
Over at the Félix Sánchez Olympic Stadium, Famous provided one of the standout moments of the Games. The high jumper cleared a remarkable height of 1.89 metres to secure the bronze medal—shattering her own previous national record of 1.85 metres in the process.
The day's triple success raises Bermuda’s overall tally at the Games to six medals.
The trio join swimmer Jack Harvey, who previously collected both a silver and a bronze in the pool, and triathlete Tyler Smith, who earned a bronze medal in the men's individual event, capping off a highly decorated campaign for the island nation.

|
Bermuda’s Women’s Field Hockey team concluded their Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Games campaign in eighth place following a 1–0 defeat to Jamaica, while the national netball team suffered an opening-match loss to Barbados.
Competing across two venues on a busy day of action, both Bermudian squads faced stern regional opposition in their respective classification and group fixtures.
